• The mad science of mommy sleep
  There are two kinds of people in the world:  those that function without sleep, and those that turn into blubbering, sobbing, constantly-on-the-brink-of-losing-it, for REAL, without it.  I fall into the latter category. There’s not much for me to complain about these days now that my little one is a toddler with a delightful sleep schedule […]
• Up, up and away…
  Goodbye, June gloom, hello summer…!  What’s on your family’s agenda now that school is out and so is the sun?  Are you tired of the same old, same old?  Even if you’re not, I hate to burst your bubble, er, balloon, but… your kids probably are, so we’ve got a solution for you! Check out […]
• Work for it…?
  As summer is upon us, and summer pretty much equals vacation — or at least hope of a mental break of some kind — Kidinga came across this fascinating new practice of in-room hotel tv’s that work ONLY when the guest decides to hop on a stationary bike and pedal away.  What do you think […]
• A Daydream Believer
  I came across this from Stumble Upon and it stopped me in my tracks….why you ask?  Well, this one mom’s inspiration is one ‘daydream’ at a time! Adele takes you into her daughter’s sub-conscious and brings to life what we all hope all of our children are dreaming about in “Mila’s Daydreams”…take a look. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/4UGoXn/offbeatmama.com/20 […]
• Funny Poo Poo!
  Kidinga has touched upon the NOT SO GLAMOURous discussion of POOP!! Being a parent, one of the things that really takes it to a new level is the “Shit” that comes with it…right?! Well…I think it’s safe to say, that this chart speaks for itself! Let the funny ‘ha ha” ensue! ‘Kidinga Wipe’ feels your […]
• Treehouse nostalgia and the present.
  Nothing evokes the wonder and enchantment of childhood like a treehouse ( http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1slBAe/www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/14208/) Whether a whimsical treetop villa or a formidable fortress, treehouses never fail to capture the imagination and stir the senses… The treehouse, after all, was where magic happened and rites of passage took […]
• Do Unto Others…?
  Do Unto Others…? I’m a big policy nerd, no question about it.  It’s what I do in my job every day trying to make things better for kids in foster care, and it’s also what I enjoy watching and reading about in my free time (well, that and some other really trashy tv that I’m […]

• Babies and the BOOB Tube
  Ok, so technically Sydney isn’t a ‘baby’ anymore, at the ripe old age of almost 2, she’s definitely made her way into full-fledged toddlerhood with colors flying.  We’ve tried hard to keep her away from the tv, and were pretty successful until about age 1 ½ or so.  At some point right around that time, […]
• Breasfeeding Dads….What?!
  Breastfeeding… Dads? I’m not a fan of high heels.  I find them painful, uncomfortable, and just generally not worth the effort.  My husband, on the other hand, loves me to wear them… and is always nudging me to do so.  One day recently while in the aisles of DSW Shoe Warehouse, on the clearance rack, […]
